The local councils
of Wealden, Hastings, Eastbourne, Lewes and Rother are seeking views on the development
of electric vehicle charge point infrastructure across the East Sussex area.
Views are being sought from those who currently drive electric vehicles (pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids) as well as from those who don’t.
Key Findings and changes made:
The results of the survey provide
an insight into existing electric vehicle (EV) driver preferences, what
the barriers are to switching to an EV, and the likely demand and support for
publically available charge points in the near future.
A total of 1488 responses were
received. Key results include:
-
22% (306) of the 1365 motorists who responded
were existing EV drivers.
- 76% of all (non-EV) drivers would
consider buying an EV in the future. The most common reasons given for not
considering an EV included: mileage range; the cost of vehicles;
uncertainty about battery life/costs; and the lack of public charge
points.
- Draft Corporate Plan for 2019-2023
Status: Closed (Results Published)
Wealden District Council would like your views on its draft Corporate Plan for 2019-2023. The Corporate Plan is the highest level strategic document produced by the Council and sets out the Council's vision for the District for the next four years.
Key Findings and changes made:
Responses were invited to an online questionnaire and overall 33 respondents completed the questionnaire. Officers attended the Wealden Disability Involvement Group to talk about the content of the draft Corporate Plan, and comments from that discussion were fed into the consultation process.
It was concluded that responses to the consultation on the Draft Corporate Plan for 2019 – 23 confirmed that the direction proposed was generally uncontroversial. The free text comments tended to be either advisory or a matter of personal opinion. In most cases where there was more than one response, views were mixed, with some for and some against. Also, it was considered that keeping the Corporate Plan concise set a clear high level strategic direction for the Council. These conclusions were subsequently accepted at the meeting of the Council’s Cabinet on 30th January 2019 whose recommendation to Full Council to adopt the draft of the Corporate Plan 2019-23 was accepted on 20th February 2019.
